What's really amazing is how openly and honestly some people are expressing their anti-Muslim bigotry. We've all heard people say "I'm not a racist" even when their actions are plainly race-motivated. What's different here is that some people are basically saying, "I want to discriminate against Muslims and I'll tell the whole world I'm doing it." When people are proud of their bigotry and make no apology for it then things are going to the next level. Anti-Muslim violence wouldn't surprise me at all. You can bet your boots that we'll start to see religious discrimination cases popping up in the federal courts over this kind of stuff.
